Spasov Wins an Early Pot

Level 1 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Simeon Spasov raised to 900 under the gun with Dan Bolan calling on the button, Halil Tasyurek calling out of the small blind, and Dan Borlan calling from the big blind.

Four-way to a flop of 948 which got checked to Gabdullin and he bet 1,100. Tasyurek check-raised to 3,500. Borlan folded, Spasov called, and Gabdullin folded.

The turn came the 5 and this time Tasyurek opted to check-call a bet of 8,000 from Spasov.

When the 5 hit the river, Tasyurek checked for the last time and Spasov put out a big bet of 22,000. Tasyurek quickly folded and Spasov won a nice early pot.
